Hey ppl,
I have a question for you.
For the case of light propagation in the air the the group-velocity dispersion parameter D is infinity because the derivative of the group velocity should be a zero (group velocity is constant ; w=ck and Vgroup=dw/dk). Who can explain me this? dispersion parameter is infinity meaning that the pulse will spread very fast. I never thought about that question but maybe I'm wrong. Plz clarify me that point.
formula for D parameter you can find here:
